What to Look For in a Double Travel Buggy

A compact double buggy side-by-side with an extremely small footprint (for use in public transport and narrow doorways). Add seats or carrycots (with adaptors), to increase the frame's weight capacity for children up to 50 lbs.

Budget double with suspension for the front and back for uneven surfaces. Large storage basket, padded handlebars, and large storage basket.

Size

stokke double stroller pushchairs tend to be wider than single ones, especially when they are side-by-side buggies like the Kolcraft Geo 3 or UPPAbaby. The good news is that this extra width enables them to carry heavier kids without straining the chassis. They also have other key features that make them stand out, such as generously-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and windows that peek out; swivel lock front wheels that help navigate tight spots such as aisles for shopping; cup holders for one parent and a smart fold mechanism that can be done one-handed; and 10-inch back wheels that aren't built for rough terrain, but can manage city streets and theme parks fairly well.

In terms of cost they are surprisingly affordable. These types of light buggies that are side-by-side are quite affordable.

Weight

The lighter a double seat Stroller-buggy is the easier it is to lift and manoeuvre. The Joie Evalite Duo is a great option if you need to be cognizant of weight, as it's the lightest double stroller we've seen in our lab tests. However, it offers a wide range of features, including large pop-out canopy with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows; a quick-release fold that stows flat within minutes; four-wheel suspension to handle rough terrain and an swivel front wheel that makes getting around tight aisles of supermarkets and shops simple. It's also super-affordable at just over PS1,000. It can also carry twins or a baby and toddler with the purchase of an additional'sidepack'.

Flexibility

A well-designed double buggy will offer a huge amount of flexibility, whether you have twins or a baby and a toddler. Buggies with narrow tandems are ideal for fitting through narrow spaces, while side by side models keep your children accounted for and help you to keep an eye on them as you navigate the supermarket or park. There are a variety of seats so that you can modify the seat as your child grows. Some allow you to add an automobile seat or ride-on board.

The Joie Evalite Duo is a perfect example. It can fit two seats or a car seat and its adaptors for car seats permit you to switch from a single seat to a double buggy with carrycot in seconds. It also comes with a large pop-out UPF 50+ sunshade canopy and adjustable leg rests, as well as peekaboo windows on both seats and an easy standing fold that is simple and easy to perform with one hand; and a premium suspension that can take care of rough terrain.

Tri-fold buggies, such as the iCandy Peach are another versatile option. Their slim frames are ideal to navigate narrow doors and aisles, while they can easily hold twins or a baby and even a large child thanks to the addition of UPPAbaby's "PiggyBack' board (which is available separately). They come with a large basket, and come with all the accessories you could require, including liners and rain covers.

Tandem buggies are generally designed with your children sitting side-by-side. This makes them easier and more stable to push on uneven surfaces, however they can be difficult to maneuver up and over kerbs. They typically have a bigger footprint than a single-seater pushchair, and can be a bit long to get through doors.

Comfort

This is one of the most comfortable lightweight doubles that we have test. It features stadium-style seating on both seats, ensuring that your children can take in the view. It also has a large UPF 50+ canopy with a windows that peek out, a cushioned toddler seat that includes an add-on RumbleSeat that has built-in adjustable leg and foot rests, as well as cups holder for one parent. The seats can recline independently by pressing a lever underneath each seat. Testers also love how the straps can be secured and unfastened with one hand. It's also a doddle to fold with a twist mechanism on the handle that makes it as easy as is possible and also stores with the backrest upright to make it easy to access.

With 30 different configurations (it'll accommodate twins, a baby and toddler or three kids if you add the option of a 'PiggyBack' board) it's a great option for families who want to be able to grow with their child. The spacious basket and the soft suspension make it suitable for kerbs, as as in the city. It's also reasonably priced. BabyGearLab recommends this product for children ages 0-6. of six.
